No one is hated more than a man who speaks truth Especially if someone stands up against wrongdoings of hindu religion they will criticize him instead of regretting

Truly only Ambedkar has guts to said what s truth....

I don't think Dr Ambedkar was wrong/too harsh about Hinduism or about Gandhi, it's personal bias of Mr Tharoor (him being a congress leader) that's preventing him from seeing where Dr Ambedkar was coming from. Experiencing caste based prejudices and discrimination throughout not only his life but also from the people and community he grew up in, from their experiences that he saw first hand, and living it, I'd have to say that he was not wrong/too harsh. Blame the people who created it and glorified it not the ones who criticized it.

No surprise that Brahmins can only see flaw in Ambedkar. They waited only 10 mins to start discussing flaw in him. Dalit community should feel proud on the fact that the discussion didn’t get started with flaws just because you worshipped him and made him God. Never ever listen to people claiming flaw in Baba saheb Ambedkar ideology. He was truly the biggest icon of the world of 20th century. Its very difficult to come near him.

The man who was skeptical about democracy is the reason why democracy still stands today in our country! Such is life

He was born n hence we are able to live....jai bhim

Dr. Ambedkar's reaction to the assassination of Gandhiji “On January 30, 1948, at 5-10 in the evening, a Hindu assassin youth killed Gandhiji by firing three bullets into his chest. In a moment the news of his murder echoed in the sky. I went to the top floor. Babasaheb was sleeping. I gently lifted him up and said, “Babasaheb Gandhiji has been murdered.” Babasaheb remained speechless for five minutes and then said, “Even his enemies would not want such a brutal killing of him.” What a bitter truth in his statement. For three days, Babasaheb kept talking about Gandhiji's personality, obstruction in the rights of untouchables, his false policies." - Devi Dayal’s book, Dr. Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar's Dincharya (Daily Life of Dr. Ambedkar), page 9-10 Apart from this, Dr. Ambedkar went to see the dead body of Gandhiji at Birla House on 31st January and he was very disturbed to see it. The next day Dr. Ambedkar also participated in the funeral procession for a short distance. On next day he went to the cremation site at Rajghat.

Ambedkar was a great man for the people of India. No one can comment on his legacy.

Ambedkar was the one who spoke boldly and straight forward with honesty unlike Gandhi or any other.

Raghav Behl seemed to be only interested in discussing Dr. Ambedkar’s flaws. In fact that dominated the interview and makes one wonder about the intent of the whole interview itself!

The host is clearly biased and likes to exaggerate. Ambedkar was justifiably unhappy with Gandhi, but he did not have "rage "as the host claims, and Shashi being a congress party good old man cannot help but defend his idol, Gandhi. The biases are so obvious, and they can criticize a man who is no longer alive to totally put them in their places. It really bothers me when Shashi and other Gandhi acolytes like him can just write a book about him in a misrepresenting way.

That was a great interview. Helped me understand Dr. Ambedkar better than reading any book, except perhaps reading Shashi Tharoor's book.

Tharoor politely giving fellow brahmins 4 new flaws of Ambedkar now since reservation has become too old school topic

Ambedkar in his own words said ,"My own view is that great men are of great service to their country, but they are also at certain times a great hindrance to the progress of the country. Mr Gandhi had become a positive danger to this country," said Ambedkar. "He had choked all the thoughts. He was holding together the Congress which is a combination of all the bad and self-seeking elements in society who agreed on no social or moral principle governing the life of society except the one of praising and flattering Mr Gandhi. Such a body is unfit to govern a country," he added."As the Bible says that sometimes good cometh out of evil, so also I think good will come out of the death of Mr Gandhi. It will release people from bondage to supermen, it will make them think for themselves and compel them to stand on their own merits,"

Shashi actually had the gall to write and give speeches about the tolerance of Hinduism. The only religion that by doctrine does not even tolerate its own. He claimed that Hinduism is tolerant because it adopted a lot of different practices. He completely ignores the fact that Hinduism persecuted without mercy when it had the power, and hijacked when it could not persecute and mass murder. What he calls acceptance should be rightfully called hijack, because it would bring practices within the fold of Brahmanism by completely rewriting the history of local religions and writing overnight genealogies to completely change the face of all local religions and taking credit for them. This ranges from yoga to Vaishnavism. There are living examples of this. If Buddhism had not spread out of India, we would all just believe the lie that the Buddha was a Hindu and a reincarnation of Vishnu. Amazingly, in India the orthodox Hindu still makes this claim without a cent of shame on their face, despite the fact that there was no Hinduism at the time of the Buddha, nor did the Buddha and Mahavir or any other Sramana accept the Vedas. They even claimed it to be completely devoid of any spiritual significance. To be a Hindu you have to accept two things besides being born into the religion, and that is the final authority of the Vedas and the abominable caste system and all of its ritual pollution practices. History and doctrine are the irrefutable evidence of this.

Dr Ambedkar is the second most influence and great personality after biddha

अगर यह इंटरव्यू हिंदी में होता तो बहुत ही ज्ञानवर्धक होता। जरूरी है कि इसे सभी भाषाओं में विशेषकर हिंदी में इसकी प्रतिलिपि जरूर बननी चाहिए।

Thanks Dr Shashi sir justice given Dr Ambedkar

Not Gandhi it’s MN Roy who pressurise member of assembly to bring an intellect man like Ambedkar, bcoz Nehru was searching for international expert but no body agree to help in this complex diversity like india….

In those days he's not understood. If right now he's there he would be a great leader and prime minister of India. Not a Rajya sabha MP as he said.

first Mr. Tharur wrote a book about all the goodness Hinduism encompasses...Next he wrote a book about a man who was deadliest critic of Hinduism...

Gandhi has done just opposite what Dr Ambedhkar tried. He lost elections due to congress GOVT

Now the social media and people are educated and understand the politics and democracy, federalism unlike those days to fight against the discrimination by the same Indian people who didn't understand his views and interest.

How come he didn't understand the Gita😮 when lord krishna stated you are all equal❤krishna states i live in the heart of all living being😊 read the Gita every day😊

Well bcs of what ambedkar said about Muslims I guess his legacy should be known and we should learn

Wow MYSTERIOUS GIANT! 👍

He would be quick enough to find out how the education system failing the country youth and is not able to reduce inequality if he were alive

Good job Quint,great conversation with Mr Shashi Taroor ji

The quint❤️True thing is you posts almost everyday with this quality of content is just insane

This was an utterly biased discussion. the interviewer just spend 10 mins to praise Ambedkar and the rest pointing out his flaws. it felt like this interviewer was forced to conduct this interview. he seemed like a gandhi bakht just pouring praises for dear gandhi 😁😁😁😁 . thanks shashi for putting out the right facts.

Ambedkar was not all of a bitter mind. He even married a brahmina woman. He was intellectual in his criticism not the foul non-intellectual bickering of others. Hindu reform is too slow, many other prominent dalit intellectuals too felt the best path was to reject Hinduism altogether. But average man wants God, he is not the revolutionary intellectual at all. So a few well informed dalit biggies rejecting Hindu faith is not going to make much difference in the small towns and villlages. Now, as far as the privileged Hindu is concerned, he is proud that his religion has merit better than most newer religions, he feels it is something that gives him peace and unique stature. He will prefer a slow reform. Dalits need to have a religion that does not subscribe to the hierarchy but is as exemplary as the positives of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jain, Sikhism. Not every Dalit can live without God and religion. The elite logical dalits wants better economy and income, they see poverty as the purpose or consequence of caste based order, how do we change the lives of these unwanted people? Today, there are big businessmen from dalit and backward communities, they turn a blind to the suffering of the others of his community. We need to inculcate social consciousness in the average dalit, he needs a sensitivity to see the circumstantial disadvantage of his brothers. He needs to work for benefit of all. Education and better income can help them to attain human stature.

The interviewer sitting facing an intellectual with one leg jutting out is bad optics . Mr Tharoor is so gracious and humble

If Dr.Ambedkar was alive India should not have continued with an anti constitutional org like RSS in the guise of cultural org for 75 years after independence...😀

Shashi Tahrur is spineless and biased. He didn’t focused on Dr Ambedkar dislike about Mahatama Gandhi and his dislike about Muslims.

Tharoor the indian mascot of exposing British divide and rule policy while himself playing the divide and rule between Dalit and adivasi communities using Ambedkar. *Slow Claps*

Excellent

It is one thing to use great and lofty words to describe someone ..as long as Gandhi lived he become the tool at the hands of other political aspirants to cross the path of Dr ambedkar all the time..

It is funny that Quint chose Tharoor of all people to talk about Dr.Ambedkar. Totally a wrong guy.

🎉 Simbal of knowledge

Regarding Dr. Babasaheb's opinion about Gandhiji's assassination, kindly refer Babasaheb's letter to his wife. It is very much available. I can't attach a letter here.

this is what congress think about ambedkar , i did not know

हजारों सालों की भेदभाव दुष्टता झेल रहे लोगो के लिए एक अवतार असामान्य रूप से उनके उद्धार के लिए भेजा गया,

I personally think that the there was not enough research done on the perspective how casteism affected the economy of India then and also now. The businesses were thriving then also only difference was that they were governed by the British and Indians were workers. Dr Ambedkar fought against this mentality of "division of labourers and not division of labour". Also, the then dominant community was too mentally and physically resistant to accept the oppressed classes as a human beings, so there is no question on understanding the nuances of the religion. The Pune pact was modified so that Mr Gandhi stayed alive not because of some feeling of surrendering. Also, if you look at the timeline when he studied in America, Americans were open-minded then and they too had the blacks as their slaves. So thinking that his perspective was influenced because of him studying in American doesn't fit.

The title of the video should be how shashi tharoor defends n justifies Dr B. R. s stand on hinduism n his revolutionary acts in constitution...not a single predictionary clause spotted in this video if Dr. was alive

All through the history of India subversive literature is produced in great number at every age...

Shashi Tharur should write a book on Periyar also..

What a shallow discussion. Disappointed with Shashi to entertain this host with no dept with his questions and understanding.

Who has ensured his election defeats, sir? Who has denied him Bharat Ratna, sir?

Raghav Bahal seems to be dusturbed by the fact that Dr Ambedkar is being praised so widely. That's why he is hellbent on discussing his flaws only even them out of context and time.

Shahsi tharoor is baised as Congressman. Host is also very much baised by exaggerating small thing. Dr Ambedkar was a human, so he could've flaw/s but the way are explaining too childish doesn't make any sense rather clearly showing their biases.

Raghav Bahl is picturising confusing picture of Dr Ambedkar which he was not so raghav is casteist.

jai bhim

For Gods sake , Mr Raghav Bahal , महार , pl pronounce it correctly .

Raghav bahl only wants to discuss about it's flaws,,,,, double dealer personality

Ask brahmins caste about their loss of birth right as in manu shruti....is bound to anger the leeches caste

34:35

Babaasaheb 🎉

Only sc and stb respect him, other hate him heart

First he was not Mahatma..only this title given by him by...some bast....

Ambedkar was evil.

Needed dr suraj Yengde on the stage!

What tharoor is thinking by decoding the faults of ambedkar, he can overshadow the Ambedkar's dignity.😅

Intellectual discussion are hot🔥🔥

In context of world evolution, Personal challenges faced by social constructs makes way for challenges for said constructs. Negation to negation from dust to dust. I am glad for this mortal life. Everything does pass. My prejudices and theirs.

Because Gandhi was biased and not straight forward since he spoke something supporting Dalits in English newspaper and against dalits in Gujarati language.

We hindu are so bad human Being in this planet how we cab do this with others ..first of all he said that he was born at hindu but not died at hindu.....he given all person equal for all human beings ...he given a freedom ti hindu gilrs and to all woman's of I dua he is real God for them ....

I think The interview only know or can see those four flaws and not other many good things..

Now also we can see the Hindu's attitudes are seen everywhere discrimination due to caste system which still exists.

I disagree with Shashi that British created communal divide. India was already divided on caste and communal lines even before the British came. In fact Ambedkar would not have studied in the schools without the British education system and their social policies. Even his father was able work in the British army. Remember the untouchability Ambedkar faced during schooling and even after return from US his treatment by a Peon in the estate of Baroda.

Gandhi was no Hindu!!

Why is this interview only dwell on flaws of a man ?

Quint being an Islam apologist along with sashi tharoor a Congressi and Muslim apologist clearly side stepped and avoided talking about Ambedkars view on Islam !!! Ambedkar hated Islam and it's philosophy and both did not mention a word about that!!

If Baba saheb were to be alive today he would have been elected as Priminister of Bharath by BJP after 2024 elections.

Gandhi is the greatest man ever walked on this planet. He has godly character. He does not hate any in the world. All are equal in his vision. He was against only injustice. Some may not understand him, naturally.

The best humans are Hindus, and was it Hinduism per se or was it Brits who used this discrimination to their benefits

Political conspiracy in which his own class was fully in league to “ Humiliate and eliminate “ him politically…🥲🥲🥲

In saving Dalits he sacrificed Good old Buisness Peaple and treasures of Indus valley to Pakistan and about Adiwasi contempt he is being castist, I wish there was no partition, certain Muslim communities of Pakistan have been wiped off and no one knows about them

What made BBC to bring Mr Ambadker interview of 1955 today please. Gandhi surely is looked by world leaders as mahatma, what proof does Mr Ambadker has to differ? Though I kind of convinced by looking at Pakistani Pdm leaders those who when they talk in urdu they pretend to be leftist but when they talk in English they show they are rightist

According to Mr Tharoor, its Gandhi jiiiiiii... Vs Ambedkar ( not Dr Ambedkar or Ambedkar ji)... Gandhi and congress , after looking at Dr. Ambedkar 's prolific knowledge and command in various fields, they never wanted Dr. Ambedkar ( a dalit)to come to power and charge... they always tried to sideline him... MAJORITARIAN HINDU'S

It was not flow Dr Ambedkar was truer he see through in Gandhi

Paranhu paranhu legacy aakki !!!

Ambedkar is. Sacrefaced. for onley sc and. st. People's not genral people and. Devid the society

Why the host unnecessary laugh, ridiculously. He seems satirical at Ambedkar. Instead he should be very serious when say about a great person. Pigmy behavioural.

That is QUITE a BIG list and SERIOUS FLAWS in that man. Almost sounds sick the way he describes about the Schedule tribes and has hatred for everything Indian and hindu. No wonder, Dalits are still suffering because this guy was a FRAUD/SICK man.

No non support ed Adivasis like Ambedkar

Congress azadi se aaj tak baba sahab ka samvidhan desh me lagu nahi kar saka ?

Lost legacy ?? Really???

Why discussion is too much pressed on flaws?

the whole interview is about the flaws of ambedkar ....from the point of view of congressmen...totaly biased one...

Ambedkar is highly over rated.

Upper caste conversion. Nothing productive in this video.

The terms 'Socialist', 'Secular', and 'Integrity', were not present in the Preamble when the Constitution was passed. Ambedkar did turn down proposals to include "socialist" and "secular" in the preamble. By the 42nd Amendment on December 18, 1976, the term "Secular" was also incorporated in the Preamble. during the Indira Gandhi administration. Of course, he hated Hinduism but he also attacked Christianity and Islam. Ambedkar viewed Christianity to be incapable of fighting injustices. He wrote that "It is an incontrovertible fact that Christianity was not enough to end the slavery of the Negroes in the United States. A civil war was necessary to give the Negro the freedom which was denied to him by the Christians. He opposed conversions of depressed classes to convert to Islam or Christianity and added that if they converted to Islam then "the danger of Muslim domination also becomes real" and if they converted to Christianity then it "will help to strengthen the hold of Britain on the country

👹👹👹

Clever debate by clever people.

Both Raghav Bahl and Shashi Tharoor could not understand what Dr.Ambedkar said. Dr.Ambedkar himself is a testimony to his statements about double voting system for scheduled castes which was denied by Gandhi's fasting until death and the Poona Pact. The upper caste hindus only selected a slave representative as MP which is true even today. Look at the various MPs and Ministers from this section, do they really true representatives? What Dr.Ambedkar said about Gandhi in the BBC interview was correct and it was straight from his heart unlike Gandhi or Shashi or Bahl.

Nonsense and irrelevant exercise.

Ambedkar's bias towards S.C.s dominated his patriotism. He started political party "Scheduled Castes Federation of India" in 1952 and contested through out the country. Why STs and BCs would support such party. Even SCs did not vote him totally. His party got just 2.38% of votes. Would you consider him constitutionally knowledgeable, advocate of equality?

Ambedkar also pointed out Muslim brotherhood (Ummah) is not Universal Brotherhood

Ambedkar was Hindu hating and said Adivasis as savages. I think he is false god.

Ambedkar was a man of confusion with a lot of decision taken by him without even considering it even ones.
